I’ve been wanting a modern, nice-looking Bomber for a long time, and you better believe I swooped one up the moment it appeared on my local Lego Store’s shelves. Overall, while I know some diehard Lego Star Wars collectors are disappointed with the price, I’m more than happy with this new Lego TIE Bomber. I’m happy he was able to convince Lucasfilm and Disney to let him include this new Imperial bot, and I’ll gladly be adding it to my growing collection of Lego Gonk Droid variants. Technically, this version of the iconic droid has no real basis in canon, but apparently, the designer behind the set was able to convince Disney to let him include it as a fun joke character. Even better, Sloane has a new torso print, too!įinally, we get our first Imperial Gonk Droid figure. (Yet.) So it’s awesome to see a slightly more obscure character get a minifig. The character is from the books and comics and has never appeared in a live-action show or movie. This is the first time we’ve gotten Sloane in a Lego set. The last two characters are the most exciting inclusions. In the set, we get a slightly new Darth Vader figure, a decent-looking TIE pilot, Vice Adrimal Rae Sloane, and last but not least an Imperial Gonk Droid. I know.)Ī photos shows the new Gonk droid and Rae Sloane Lego figures. (I voted for that ship and bought it when it came out last year. But it and the Nuebulon B Escort Frigate lost to the Republic Gunship.
There was a vote in 2020 held by Lego to select the next high-end UCS (Ultimate Collector Series) set, and one of the options was the TIE Bomber. Whatever the reason, the TIE Bomber was one of the more famous and beloved Star Wars ships to be put on the back burner by Lego after getting only one set way back in 2003. Chalk it up to popularity, a lack of interest, or just that Lego is limited in how often it can create new designs and Star Wars is so big that it will always be playing catch up. While popular Star Wars ships like the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and Millenium Falcon often get new Lego models, other ships from the galaxy far, far away aren’t nearly as lucky. But it looks like a fantastic set containing some neat minifigs and details. It’s the start of a new year, which of course means it’s time for some new Lego sets! Every January 1, Lego releases a long list of new builds, and this time Star Wars fans got a wonderful and long-awaited treat: A new TIE bomber set. The new Lego TIE Bomber set sits on a colorful background of pink and yellow dots.
